I Left my Car in San Francisco RIP Tony Bennett July 21 2023 Very sadly Tony Bennett died today, as I told the story many times when I met Tony, I said "Hi Tony, my name is Jon Hammond - I'm from San Francisco!" So right away he paid attention on me, and I told him, "Tony, I left my CAR in San Francisco" he said, oh man I never heard that one before! He was a beautiful cat - you can see some photos when we joined him at the NEA Jazz Masters gathering at the Sheraton Hotel in NYC - and my friend Bobbi Sacks Marcus DeSouza is getting Tony's attention for a photo opp at a special ASCAP event honoring Quincy Jones a few years ago - that's my Hammond Report for today folks, remembering the great Tony Bennett! Have a beautiful weekend, I'll be back real soon, Jon Hammond
